Enjoying research is a bit esoteric to describe. Sometimes it starts with initial spark of insight, perhaps germinating

an idea with the fertilizer from another research field. As painstaking as the process of seeing an idea to its completion can be, it is deeply rewarding to develop a publication or product that actually impacts the way others think about their research and/or practice health care. That feeling is
